Episode Details

If your team has ever lost a candidate to scheduling delays, this episode is for you. Remote-first hiring sounds great in theory — but in practice, 38% of talent team time gets consumed by interview scheduling alone. Add time zone complexity and you've got a hiring bottleneck that costs you top candidates every week. OVI takes a different approach. It's a full native AI chat ATS built around two intelligent agents: Sora for sourcing and Milo for screening. Candidates complete async AI audio chats on their own schedule — no calendar coordination, no time zone gymnastics. A structured five-minute audio conversation, analyzed by Milo, flows directly into the ATS. In this episode, we walk through exactly how the end-to-end workflow works for remote-first teams, what the compliance posture looks like (transcript-only analysis — no biometrics, no facial recognition), and why the economics are a surprisingly easy sell at $99/month to start. The bottom line: remote hiring is the operating model now. OVI was built for the world that already exists.
